Explanation

AAISM vendor governance guidance identifies regular audits of vendor processes as the most effective method of ensuring compliance with ethical and security standards.

Self- attestation, internal monitoring, or documentation sharing provide some transparency but do not guarantee compliance. The best practice, particularly for high-risk AI deployments, is independent and recurring audits of vendor processes.
